Eyes Wide Shut Lyrics by Alfie Templeman

Radiosoul

2024

[Intro]
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)

[Verse 1]
I hate the way that the world's turning
Can't look the way that the time's facing
'Cause the future tense is too intense
It's gonna put me in a spin
I hate the way that the world's turning

[Verse 2]
I learnt to swim, but I'm still drowning
Got the silver bullet, but I can't load it
You're a hologram in a wonderland
And I watch you wash away
I learnt to swim, but I'm still drowning

[Chorus]
I've been up all night
I can't find my mind
I've been living and loving with my
Eyes wide shut
I've been numbing my pain
Oh, but I can't kill shame
I've been living and loving with my
Eyes wide shut

[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 3]
I feel alone and I can't help it
So dark in here that I punch shadows
But I'm holding hands with the rays of light
As they cut me down to size
I feel alone and I can't help it

[Chorus]
I've been up all night
I can't find my mind
I've been living and loving with my
Eyes wide shut
I've been numbing my pain
Oh, but I can't kill shame
I've been living and loving with my
Eyes wide shut

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I've been up all night (I've been up all night)
I can't find my mind (I can't find my mind)
I've been living and loving with my
Eyes wide shut
I've been numbing my pain (I've been numbing my pain)
But I can't kill shame (But I can't kill shame)
I've been living and loving with my
Eyes wide shut

[Post-Chorus]
I open my mind
Reality don't bite
I have you in my sights
My eyes wide shut
I open my mind
Reality don't bite
I have you in my sights
With my eyes wide shut

[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
